So the greatest common factor 1452,2520 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,804
2 | 238, 804 |
119, 402 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 119 x 402 = 95676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/95676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1452/238,2520/804 is 12/95676
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 238,804 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,804) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,804) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(238,804) = ( 238 × 804 ) / 2
LCM(238,804) = 191352 / 2
LCM(238,804) = 95676
